“Very solid jacket”

“I ended up returning this because I just couldn't love the bright burnt orange color. For [$] (even if marked down from original [$]) I figured I should love it entirely. I did try it on several times over a week and it is definitely a nicely designed jacket albeit a bit quirky in its style. (I say that only because it has a slightly asymetrical cut, though that seems intentional, and it seems like it would work fine. Perhaps that is what upset a previous reviewer so much?) Loved the large and multiple pockets. The zippers feel really solid, the fabric feels thick and surely very wind resistant - thicker underneath waterproof layer than the cheaper jackets. Lots of bells and whistles I didn't really need like avalanche beacon reflector, whistle, google cloth. This is really a good buy for a Spyder. I don't know exactly why they are so over-priced, but this one at least does seem to be a very solid jacket (shell actually - no insulation) for extreme cold weather activities.”
